Hi guys, I just bought myself a manual 1989 E30 320i touring off ebay, It drove well for first three days but now I have a couple of problems with it.

The biggest problem is when I start and drive the car it is fine for one minute or so, then it looses power (speed) and sounds as if it is running on five cylinders. When I try to rev the engine in neutral it won't go over 1500-2000 rpm then it cuts out and will not start again. The engine turns but does not start.
